Or was it a break? Or Where were you? Yeah, it

was a break.

Honestly, I kind of just got out of it.

And I mean, when I moved to New Orleans and got married and everything, that kind of changed things.

And I was traveling.

with my husband a lot, he's a pilot and just doing a lot of charity stuff and philanthropy in New Orleans.

And it takes up a lot of time.

And then it seemed pretty tense in the reunion show.

Like, how did you get the opportunity to play? Were you approached? Did you apply?

So, uh, I was approached.

And, uh, I had a friend from LA who did, like, PR for Peacock, and he was like, "You would be great for The Traitors." And I was like, "Oh, yeah, I would love that show." And so, um, he, they kinda called me, did an interview.

I wasn't, like, a shoo-in, but I had to do, like, an interview, just like you did whenever you applied.

And, um, I guess I impressed them, and I got on.

But I was so nervous.

Day one, I show up, and I'm like, "I'm the least known person here." Like, everyone else is way more famous than me.

And, uh, watched the filming, but then I don't think anything kind of came of it, so I was wondering if you remembered that, and if you could talk a little bit about what that was about and what end up, what ended up happening.

So a

few things I think that not a lot of people knew, because I think that also Colton is a fame whore, a little bit of a narcissist, and very manipulative as a person.

And so...

I think that looking back and seeing all the videos and seeing what happened, I remember that I there that was huge news and that he was doing all this stuff.

Then he's like, surprise, I'm gay.

And then everyone's like, oh, my God, we love you.

What a struggle.

What are you up to?

And then the roundtable stuff, I think because of The Real World, that sort of prepared you as well.

Right, and also, as a Housewives fan, watching all their reunions, I knew what they were gonna do at the roundtable.

I was like, "I need to stand up to these women." For people who are a casual viewer or don't watch The Housewives a lot, they, their personalities can be so intimidating.

But, um, and they are intimidating.

However, I've watched enough that I'm like, "No, I'm not gonna let somebody walk all over me." Um, b- and, but also with the housewives, you have to think of a numbers game.

There's so many housewives there, at least one of them's gonna be a traitor.

So, uh- That's probably, I think, a reason that they wanted to vote Po- Portia out early too.

That's amazing

Okay.

Especially whenever he, like, slyly pointed me toward the shield on one of the later challenges.

I was like, "Why wouldn't he want this for himself?" I was like, "That's weird.

He's giving traitor right now." Like, he doesn't want it for himself 'cause he's a traitor.

He's not gonna murder himself.

So, um, uh, there were definite moments that I felt like he was, and it made me spiral e- even more than I already was spiraling.
